HEY THERE, new friend.
I'm Valerie (Val) — a brand photographer with a passion for helping small business owners. I know firsthand how hard it can be to put yourself out there! But it can be a worthwhile and meaningful way to connect to your clients.
I know what it's like to have to do everything alone as a creative entrepreneur. There are so many different priorities and you are often the one wearing ALL the hats.
But I can help! In one jam packed, intentional photo session with me, we can work hard to get you a collection of photos that will be a tool for you to create an online presence that reflects what your brand stands for. I would love to collaborate with you!
And it doesn't just have to be a stiff, studio headshot session! Let's get creative and think outside the box with unique locations, poses, and concepts that can help your brand stand out (just like I did with the pelvic physio team pictured here).
A business isn't just professional - it's also personal because it reflects your values and aspirations. You deserve photos that express that part of your business, too. It will help your clients like, know, and trust you that much more.
Did you know I also offer video service add-ons for your photo sessions? You can walk away with a reel or at least some video footage to start getting creative with video editing.
I want to help you achieve your business goals. Let's connect!

Boudoir weekend sessions
I have a soft spot for working with women and portraiture. Every year, I hold one or two special boudoir photography weekends that are so meaningful to me as I get to connect with incredible women and help them see how beautiful they are with tasteful photographs. My boudoir team and I create an amazing atmosphere and experience and my clients leave feeling so much more confident! It's the BEST. These sessions are of course super private and of course I only share photos with full permission. If you want to be on the waiting list for this years' sessions, let me know!
